join
our
bell
Endeavours
in
the
impor-
tant
Caufe
of
Chriflianity, Proteflan
tifmn,
and
practical
Religion.
When
united Attempts
have
got the
better of
the
Infidelity
and
Immorality
of
the
Age
(which
certainly
demand
the
firft
Regard)
it
will
then
be
time
enough
for Fellow-
Chriflians and
Fellow
-Pro-
tenants
to
difpute
Matters
of
fo
little
Confequence
as
an
Organ
or a Surplice,
a
fquare
Cap,
or a Gold
Ring.
It
may
even then
be
too
foon
to
engage
the
Minds
of
People
upon
Subjeós
of
fo
little
Moment;
but,
at
prefent, 'tis,
upon many Accounts,
greatly
unfeafon-
able
and improper. Contentions
of
this
Sort,
among many
other
Evils,
are
apt
to
produce
a
Coldnefs and
Difregard
for
the
neceffary
Duties
of
Piety and
Virtue.
Men
of all
Perfuafions
are
too
prone
to
fall
into
this
Miflake, and fub-
fiitute
a
di%proportion'd
Zeal
again/l,
as
well
as
for,
the external
and
difputed
Parts of
Religion,
in
the Place
of
true
Devotion
and
real
Goodnefs.
When
the
Mind
is
thus
warmly engaged
in
fuch Difputes,
either
on
one Side
or
the other,
it
generally
becomes
too
earelefs of more
weighty Matters. Nor
is
this
Effect
at
all unnatural.
One of
the
common
Arts
in
this
religious
Con-
roverfy
(for
even
that,
to the

Hurt
